at the white house. these enslaved workers performed a variety of jobs. they were chefs, gardeners, stable hands, maids, butlers, valets, ladies, ladies and. and did all sorts of other cleaning and other work around the white house. so we had this long history up until the lincolns of having a lot of enslaved workers in the white house itself. but things changed with first ladies, beginning with this with abigail adams, who had a very, very different opinion of slavery from her predecessor, martha washington. abigail was an abolitionist and shortly after john adams was inaugurated, and abigail wasn't there at the time. that was not a typical first lady. martha was not there for george's inauguration either. but martha had written a letter at one point in her life to john which said that and fortunately how could they, the southerners, reconcile human bondage with the ideology of freedoms that america had fought for. and abigail hired a free african-american named james, who worked at their farm. and duri

the white house is sa in: strategy? the white house is saying that — strategy?is saying that they've been - strategy? the white house is. saying that they've been trying to host discussions with muslim and arab american leaders since the start of the conflict, the president sitting down with a handful of leaders in october and senior officials have met with muslim and arab american leaders in the white house went to michigan to sit down with some of the elected officials over there who were frustrated by the administration's handling of the one seeking a meeting to talk about potential alternatives the current approach in policy. they are trying to straddle a convoluted line on the one hand starving their support for israel and honouring the support for the offensive in gaza while again trying to be a bit more critical, put more pressure on israel and its conduct in the war. we will see how long they can thread the needle and if they are able to appease the many different constituencies they are trying to keep the support of at this time. interesting reporting.

so the president said, let's have it on the white house lawn. they cannot stop that. it has been going on since then. easter reminds us of the power of hope and renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection. but mainly, love and grace towards one another. it's time to pray for one another. to cherish the blessings and the possibilities that we have as americans. that's what i see in our country. we are a great nation because we are good people. our values are solid. the rest of the world looks to us. we are determined to keep up that banner. and because of you, the american people, and i mean this sincerely, i have never been more optimistic about america than i am today. we have a norma's opportunities, enormous -- we have enormous opportunities, enormous opportunities. we just have to remember who we are. the united states of america. and there is nothing beyond our capacity. god bless you all. enjoy the day. and i'm coming down to do the easter egg world in just a minute -- roll in just a minute. thank you everybody. by the way, say hello to our buddy. -- to the easter bunn

white house easter egg roll. easter, everybody. i'm a teacher, so i love any time when we can turn the white house into a classroom. and that's what we're doing today. the south lawn is transforming into our learning playground and school community. and there's so much to discover. listen to a story in the reading nook, explore space, make circuit breakers, write notes to our troops, take a field trip to a farm, hunt for dinosaur fossils, and so much more. education expands our horizons and transports us to new worlds. just like these balloons, it allows all students to soar and reach unimaginable heights. i hope that you all learn something new today. but most importantly, i hope you all have fun. and now, it is my honor to please welcome my husband, the president of the united states, joe biden. [applause] president biden: happy easter! well, we did everything, but we couldn't control the weather. although, al roker told me this morning it was going to get sunny. folks, welcome to what's expected to be the bigg

signal switchboard in the basement of the white house or the white house admin board, which was next door and the eob building. so that just amazed me that that kind of technology which now i call prehistoric but i would argue that we were the united states was among the worldwide leaders as far as provide in presidential support so it's fascinating me that at the same time i was in the white house that this brain power was going on right with the tom white heads and all of this was evolving. so i just that as an observation and and i agree with jeff an enlightening viewpoint this was to learn about all of this that had taken place while i was actually also working in the white house. wonderful wonderful. thank you very much. if i could. there was something the london switch, which i think was a dedicated cable under the and and you remember you used to to make an appointment to make a long distance call. and, you know, your your slot 4 minutes at 2 a.m. and you could hardly hear on the other end of the line. but man, if you could connect through that switch it was like the pers

do you expect that the white house press corps will be given some information by the white house tonightwith a term that you know well. there was a lit called this evening, meaning that there was not any expectation that at the very least we would see the president tonight. that doesn't rule out potential statements and it doesn't rule out is working the phones as we have been all night, trying to get any information we can. so those conversations are obviously ongoing at this point if we have not gotten any indication that the white house will respond in any formal way, until it has more information, this is certainly something that could change. this is a dynamic situation and any further escalation would warrant a response from the administration but at this point it is not our expectation although we are certainly trying to get more information to the public. >> i want to bring ben rhodes back into this discussion. from the perspective of inside the white house, of all the issues that have to be dealt with inside of the white house, one of them is informing mike memoli and therefore

sumi: where does that leave t white house? from the beginning of the war, the white house has warned about this conflict spreading. gen. kimmitt: president biden has said we have their back. so, i think the policymakers and the people inside the white house are concerned about what president biden is saying because he's in fact creating the very incentives for benjamin netanyahu to do more, whereas his secretary of state and policymakers a trying to get the israelis to do less. sumi: you think the president is making a mistake with that policy? gen. kimmitt: i think the way he is articulating policy without condition, i think is a mistake. sumi: what do you think you would need to hear om the president that would dial down the situation? gen. kimmitt: that he has talked to benjamin netanyahu and netanyahu said he would dial down the situation. sumi: they have not heard that yet, but they've had many conversations. i want to ask you about the department of defense's posture in the region. they moved additional assets to the mid

we heard that from the white house over noit.inistration has characterized this section 702 of the foreign intelligence security authorization as something that is critical, vital to national security and allows the government to collect information from foreign surveillance activities that it engages in. so the national security advisor put a statement out overnight saying he recognized there was some push and pull over this issue leading up to the vote that happened in the senate but ultimately, the administration believes this is a good thing for the federal government to be able to continue to have this ability to gather and collect information. we can tell you, there was some concern about this from both progressives and conservatives who had concerns about privacy issues, the ability of american citizens to remain control of their personal. this moved through the senate and already passed through the house. i want you to hear how majority leader schumer characterized the vote overnight. >> allowing fisa to expire would have

is anyone at the white house expressing surprise? had read intelligence evaluations that said they would be surprised if iran launched an attack from its own soil. >> reporter: well, the reason that it is surprising is because in the past when you've had iranian proxies basically doing the work of iran, that insured that whatever retaliation follows isn't happening within iranian territory. and that a further stokes -- that further stokes the disruption in the region that really iran does want to see. they want to see the fighting happening in other areas because that also ramps up the concerns of all of their proxy groups and sort of rallies them together. but having this come from iran itself is certainly unusual. the president did say yesterday that that he expected it to happen sooner than later. so there was obviously intelligence that this was something that they were watching. now that it has begun, how the u.s. responds to that, how israel responds to that is going to be carefully considered and proportion nate to whatever ca

at the white house with the president.e sure that the character of people who are appearing with the head of state is sufficient to send proper signals about appropriate behavior from the white house. it's one of the roles that i think a head of state plays. the president is not just the chief executive. they set certain cultural norms. prior white houses would make sure someone in a salacious headline, wouldn't appear with the president. the trump white house, the president himself represents the characteristics you wouldn't want to see in your children. >> let me read a little bit from what's happening right now on the stand. the prosecution is saying so there would be multiple debts checking to make accounts, transactions comply with law. gary farro said a wire and account opening requires multiple layers of review. if i could pose reputational risk, that would be above my pay grade. any transaction that would go to a sanctioned country or a person of interest list, we would not process that transaction. farro also says

liz: brett, why did the biden white house -- brent, why did the biden white house convey to iran via turkey that iran's attack must be "within certain limits". brent, why is the biden white house anywhere near talk withs iran on striking israel? >> it defies logic and certainly not very much the behavior of an ally to be acting this way and green lighting some limited attack. this is the same type of logic that got us into a war in ukraine quite frankly in the weeks leading up to it, you had the president saying a little encourage or invasion is acceptable and now we're two plus years in the war in ukraine depleting our munitions and own treasure trying to make them able to see. military presence would have prevent that had war and same logic at play for another war in the middle east. liz: aaron, they're playing both sides of it. air defense systems that shut down 99% of the hundreds of cruise missiles and going think and hoping for the saudi arabia, jordan and france and how can the biden white house take a victory lap here. >> speaking farsi, liz. there's an expression that the ol

[laughter] of course, 2024 election is in full swing. yes, age is an issue. i've always done well in the original 13 colonies. >> the entertainer -- my weekend update coanchor michael shea was going to join me here tonight but in solidarity with president biden i decided to lose all my black support. i was excited to be appear on stage with

joining us now white house reporter for bloomberg news, akala gardener. good to see you this morning. let's begin with the trip to baltimore. biden has said he wants the federal government to foot the entire bill for the bridge repair and the work that needs to be done to reopening that port. give us any sort of timetable as to when that reopening may happen, but also how is the white house trying to get these federal funds authorized? >> yeah, that ask was formalized today. the office of management and budget director shalanda young sent a letter to the heads of the committees in the senate and house asking to cover 100% of the cost here. and this is a major issue potentially even within the maryland delegation just because we know so many things in congress, there's just simply so much disagreement it's been one of the most unproductive houses probably in the history of the country really. and so they're trying to find consensus and build consensus, and i think that's exactly what we're going to hear president biden pushing today while he's on the groun

what did the white house press corps think of her? she didn't come to the white house and. hang with us in the press briefing room. she was a presence, especially during that time where she got the sadat begin. all that was done, obviously away, from the white house. but when we travel wild with her, she was just she was that that new year's eve in tehran at midnight, they brought the travel pool. me and couple of other reporters up to the the elegant ballroom of the the avalon palace. they opened the doors and there was president carter and mrs. carter shah of iran, king hussein of jordan. and they just all said, happy new year, toast and champagne and everything. and i said, mr. president, you're going to go to egypt tomorrow to see president sadat. why is that? he went one. barbara wasn't there because. she and john chancellor of nbc and some the other bigwigs had been invited to the party they were off dancing somewhere and indeed, a few minutes later, we went back downstairs. the president's secret service agent, -- kiser, came and got me said, the president needs to s

jessica the white house puing. essentially a expectation onow this is goto unfold in terms of the duraon. they're saying that gng to be a number of hours thats coming from a spokesrson f theional they're not saying that t is going t over very quickly. they're not saying that ts is something that's going to last for days, but there is an expectation that we have been talking about because of the weaponry that the iranians are choosing, that this is going to take several hours. it's almost midnight and israel, that means that this could stretch into the pre-dawn hours. it will be very interesting to see whether it lasts longer than that. of course, there is a very distinct possibility that israel then decides to retaliate for this retaliation. and then we could really be off to the races in terms of an expanded conflict, but we aren't there yet. jessica, we have been talking about this iranian retaliation patient for almost two weeks now since israel struck that alleged consulate, the iranian building in damascus and

white is also the author of a house built by slaves, african-american visitors to the lincoln white house. in addition to dr. white, we will hear from historian and retired howard university professor dr. edna mefford. dr. medford in forward of to address you as my friend, you discuss how historians have relegated the lived experience of black people in the mid 98th century to be reflected the writings and oration of privileged few who did possess oratorical abilities were skilled with the pen. you assert that all the well-meaning those interpretations are limited. why is it important for the voices of black people who largely existed at the march chins of society be given center stage without edit or you know as a and we deal primarily written sources so we're looking at documents but if we're talking about marginalized people, especially people had been enslaved generally, they are illiterate. and so they're not going to be leaving a lot of documentation. we also rely on official documents that generally have been generated by white men who certainly would have a different perspective a
